The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Father
You're a sad old man
Your tawdry vest is gray
Memories
Of a former man
Are all your words convey
Father
Oh can't you see
The tarnished robe you wear
A crown
For fools
The people laugh
You never seem to hear
Father
You're life's a ship
That's never been to sea
The bottle
That surrounds your life
You'll sail eternally
Children
Please understand
A man must stand alone
And face a world
He'll never know
And never call his own
Ba ba bum bum
Ba ba bum bum
Ba ba bum bum
Ba ba bum bum
Ba ba bum bum
Ba ba bum bum
Ba ba bum bum
Ba ba bum bum
Father
